Default Painting stock wheels

I've read some older posts that I searched for, but I need some advise from those who have experience. I used to have my stock wheels Plasti dipped. I left it on too long, and it was a bear to get off. I'm looking to paint or bed line my wheels black. For those who have done this, I need some advice on the easiest, permanent solution. Spray bed liner? A particular brand of rattle can? Plasti dip was easy to do, but I want something for the long haul this time. Thanks for any advice...

I'd say Duplicolor is the way to go as well. Why was the Plastidip hard to remove? Thought that stuff was easy to remove?

I'd also say Duplicolor. its fairly easy and looks pretty good. The plasti dip over time bakes on over time. If i remember correct you are supposed to remove it every 6 months and recoat it to prevent it from baking on.

I left the plastidip on for 2 years! Took forever to take off. I'd rather paint this time. I don't want to do it every 6 months. I've heard good and bad about bed liner. I looked for Dupli Color Wheel Coating paint but can't find it at Auto Zone.
